Since the 15th century, some inhabitants of Africa, the United States and Mexico have processed Spirulina into a soft blue cake. Since the 1960s, Spirulina has attracted the attention of international biologists. In the early 1970s, Spirulina was recognized by the United Nations Food Conference as "tomorrow's best food resource".
In the mid-1970s, the Mexican government provided athletes with this green food to enhance their physical fitness and restore their strength, and achieved good results. After the 1980s, many countries have formed a considerable scale of spirulina production and application. Since 1974, the world's first spirulina production plant has been put into production in Mexico.
